The ONE AND ONLY ***OFFICIAL*** Crysis thread - SPOILERS!

It is a bug in the game apparently - the TAC gun should start locking as soon as you point it in the vicinity of the target after pressing the right mouse button - you should see a progress bar. If it does nothing then you'll need to go back to an earlier save and try it again.

Using an earlier save game fixed my issue of not been able to use the TAC gun. I just loaded up the autosave made when the creature is just about to rise from the sea.

Just finished-that was immense! Not the greatest FPS ever, but still darn fun-the first parts for the tactics and nanosuit, the later, alien bits for the sheer adrenaline rushes, like the first fight on the flight deck which was simply amazing. Only disappointment was the Core level.

Bah core was best :/
 
Man i'm so sick.. The game ran beautiful and the parts inside the mountain were just awe inspiring for effects. Then when i get outside in the blizzard it runs totally crap to the point where i've stopped playing it altogether cos i can't be arsed to fiddle with gfx settings. Deffo a love hate relationship with this game. Its awesome but **** at the same time :(

But surely if it was using all 4 cores you would get better performance as then you can do more physics calculations? And in some areas with LOTS of action like helicopters, jets, tanks and lots of enemys you get a big slow down.

You could have 700 cores and the game would run no faster, the framerate is nearly entirely dictated by the incredibly heavy GPU workload, the CPU is virtually irrelevant. Nothing more than an average dual-core is needed. The CPU can't help with rendering, it's all done by the GPU.

Agreed, it's was ****** amazing. I was just blown away by the alien spaceship and carrier levels. For me it sets a new standard for the scale of action and drama you can have in an FPS game, and of course for how amazing it can look.
 
Well just finished it too. On the while really enjoyed it, like some others though definitely agree that the game for me seemed to go downhill a notch from the alien ship onwards. In fact i really hated that free floating alien ship level and the VTOL one too.

The carrier boss battles at the end were very impressive. Overall a most enjoyable game for me.
 
Oh yeah to the guy who was having the TAC gun problem, what i had to is when she shouts "now nomad" or whatever select you TAC gun and point at the side cannon and a locking progress bar should come up, however should this not open, select a different weapon and then re select the TAC gun and it worked for me. Strange, dunno if it's a glitch or something but there you go.
 
Hi iv'e just installed and ran Crysis.

Im running it in windows xp pro.
When i go to graphic settings, the "very High" options are couloured in grey, and i cannot select them.
Am i right in thinking that this is for DX10?

There is a way to get Very High in XP, you have to change some settings in some cfg files as described here: http://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_13.html

Or download edited cfg files and replace the ones you have (after backing up)

Next select High in the game and you will get Very High.
 
Im trying to be careful not too read any spoilers in this thread but thats almost inevitable. So sorry if this has been asked before, but how would my system cope with running the game with settings on high?

AMD 4400+ X2 with 1mb cache per core - Stock speed
512MB X1900XT
2GB ram (dual channel) - 200mhz bus speed
WD Raptor HDD

My monitors native resolution is 1280*1024 but I could compromise and play Crysis at 1024*768. Some AA / multi-samping would be nice.

Will my system hack that? I wouldnt be happy with any extend periods (30 seconds or more) with 20 FPS or less. Generally I would like 30+ and to enjoy the settings at high for a more rounded gaming experience. Is this going to happen or should I hold out for a while and upgrade my system to a next gen DX10 card?

I dont think even at 1024x768 it will cope with AA but I'm unsure as I've never had an X1900XT, at 1280x1024 all high its going to be pretty choppy.

You can always try some of the CFG mods that can improve performance whilst making the graphics look as good or better :), I found using a CFG that 2gb of memory was not enough even in XP.
